One that is threatening calabasas, an upscale suburb of los angeles. Hundreds of acres have burned. At least 5,000 people have been forced from their home. Several firefighters have been injured. Reporter despite firefighters best efforts, the socalled old fire destroyed this building and seriously damaged two houses just hours after it began.

Reporter hospital crews took advantage of this nearby lake, pulling up water and dropping it on flames as they edged closer to hundreds of homes. Cool overnight conditions helped firefighters gain ground, but Officials Say the fire is not yet contained. The cause of the fire is being attributed to a pickup truck that was traveling at a high rate of speed, hit a power pole and caused a transformer to fall over and explode. Elaine .

After tuesday, im going to do everything i can to reach out, to try to unify the democratic party, and i expect senator sanders to do the same. Reporter but even as shes getting ready to take on trump, clintons camp ignores his supporters. I think if i am not the nominee, well fight to become the nominee. It is secretary clintons job to explain to those people why she should be why she should get their support. Reporter meanwhile, trump is coming under fire from his own republican allies like newt gingrich, for continuing to argue that a federal judge presiding over a lawsuit against Trump University is biased because of his mexican heritage. This is one of the worst mistakes trump has made, and i think its inexcusable. Reporter the former House Speaker has been mentioned as a potential trump running mate. First of all, this judge was born in indiana. Hes an american, period. Reporter and on face the nation, he took it a step further. If it were a muslim judge, would you feel the same .

Iraqi forces have been trying to free the city of fallujah from the grip of isis. The city, about 40 miles from the iraqi capital, baghdad, has been under isis control for more than two years. Charlie dagata was outside fallujah and has this report. Reporter were just back from the southern outskirts of the city where we joined Iraqi Special forces, elite troops trained by the u. S. Military and described by u. S. Military officials here as the most comp tents fighting force in iraq. Progress is slow but steady. Maybe 500 yards a day. The closer they get to the city itself, theyre facing stiff roifrs in the way of mortars, snipers, roadside bombs and car bombs. Now, iraqi commanders told us that air strikes by the u. S. And its allies are the single biggest gamechanger, responsible for 75 of the success on the battlefield. And while we were there, we heard jets roaring overhead, followed by two or three huge explosions. We were told by iraqi commanders they hit their targets. A number of isis fighters, holed up in a building. But as Iraqi Forces Close in on fallujah, its gonna be more difficult to rely on air strikes for that close air support, out of concern for tens of thousands of civilians who remain trapped inside the city. Elaine, commanders told us its impossible to know how long its going to take for their forces to enter fallujah itself. But when they do, thats when the really battle begins. Urban combat, street by street fighting against an enemy whos dug in and has held on to that city for more than two years. Charlie, thank you. The u. S. Aircraft carrier harry s. Truman has been launching air strikes against isis from the mediterranean sea. We went onboard for a rare look at the Long Distance fight against the terror group. Reporter u. S. Navy fighter jets continued their assault today against isis, but from a new staging area. This Aircraft Carrier had been in the persian gulf. It was brought up through the suez canal and repositioned here in the Eastern Mediterranean sea. This is the first time that the u. S. Navy has launched air strikes from this part of the world since the iraq war in 2003. Rear admiral brett batchledder told us the move shows flexibility in the fight against isis. We continue to strike at the financial capabilities, the revenuegenerating sources that they have there, their abilities to generate forces, and at their leadership. Reporter that can mean striking militants or banks . Yes, it could. Reporter so far, 1,800 combat missions, or airstrikes, have been flown from this carrier since it was deployed. Dealing a blow to the terrorist group. They do not have the same real estate or freedom to maneuver that they did when we arrived in december. Reporter the u. S. Says harry s. Truman will be heading home soon but its keeping up the fight for now, as this is such a crucial time in the battle against isis. Still ahead, remembering muhammad ali. At a new york boxing gym with ties to the champ. The greatest of all time, muhammad ali. [ bell dings ] the ringside bell tolled a final ten count for the champ, a touching tribute to muhammad ali last night on hbos boxing after dark. Ali is being remembered this weekend at gleasons gym, a new york boxing institution with ties to the champ. Demarco morgan is there. Reporter it was back in 1964 that a young fighter and olympic Gold Medalist named cassius clay was training at gleasons gym in the bronx, right before his fight with sonny liston. Since then, that gym has moved to this spot in brooklyn. Soon as you walk through the doors, trainers and boxers and visitors alike will tell you the champs presence can be felt here. Alis memorabilia and pictures cover the wall. Photos with the champ with his trainer. Gleasons boxing gym is also where 134 world champions have trained since its doors opened in 1937. No surprise why the champ decided to work out at gleasons during his career. The gyms owner was a friend of alis, who says young boxers still want to learn the champs moves. Hes not only a boxing hero and champion, hes an american icon. He changed the style. The kids are coming to the gym, they want to train like muhammad ali. They want to have his style. Reporter i spoke with the owner today and he tells me there are several tributes in the works for muhammad ali, including a permanent memorial at the gym. Demarco morgan, thanks so much. Well close our broadcast with a tribute to the champ. ,,,,,,,, threetime heavyweight champion, the poet laureate of pujillism, a philosophier with fists of steel last night on cbs, josh elliott, my colleague at cbsn anchored a special 48 hours tribute to muhammad ali. It included an interview with boxing great george foreman, remembering his friend and former opponent the champ. I considered muhammad ali to be my big brother. That big mouthed brother that i never had. When i was a young boy, we all loved muhammad ali. After i became a bocking champion, i got distant. Im so fast i can run through a hurricane and dont get wet. When he meetss me, hell pay his debts. I went to africa certain i would come back with my world title, that i would easily beat muhammad ali. I lost the fight, and he was there screaming, im the greatest. That devastated me. And for years, i thought, my whole life was bent around getting revenge on muhammad ali. I didnt like him, i wanted to beat him. But that all changed and it started way back in the late 70s when he wanted me to come back. He said, george, i want you to do me a favor, i want you to come back to boxing and beat ken norton for me. Beat him up because i cant beat him, george. So he was going to trick me back into boxing just to beat norton for him. From that point on, we became great friends. I realized that all those years i had missed what everybody else had enjoyed, a relationship with muhammad ali. He was truly the greatest. He had poems, hed get on the telephone with you. He was interesting. Make your heart beat fast. Thats how exciting muhammad ali was. I think the best part of muhammad ali, more than that of being a great athlete, or even a great boxer, was his mere presence. Hed get into the ring and you werent fighting a boxer. You werent fighting a slugger. You were having to contend with the presence of one of the greatest human beings that ive ever met in my life. He was a great man. How do you fight a great man . Because you dont hit him with a jab. You dont hit him with a righthand. Youve got to hit them back with greatness. And i think if you look for the best boxer, dont look to muhammad ali. If you look for the greatest puncher, dont look to muhammad ali. But if you looking for the greatest presence that was ever in the ring, you look to muhammad ali. Thats the overnight news for this monday. For some of you, the news continues. For others, check back with us a little later for the morning news and cbs this morning. From the Broadcast Center in new york city, im elaine key hanas. This is the cbs overnight news. Welcome to the overnight news.

We became friends, wind up practicing, training together, boxing. Reporter alis friend had nearly a lifetime full of memories. He met ali when he was 13. As a youngster, he was very quiet.

Reporter having visited ali several times in recent years, bender says he thought his longtime friend would fight his way out of the hospital, as he had done several times before. How is his wife doing . Shes the backbone. Lonnies a very special woman. She loves her husband and she wanted to be there any his needs, she was there to make sure he had it. This was the day after he beat spinks reporter former Sports Writer billy reed covered the threetime heavyweight champion for decades. He said he was concerned when he last saw ali in october at a university of louisville football game. I just leaned down and kissed his bald spot and said, god bless you, champ. And i dont know why i did it, but i think probably now, i was probably saying goodbye. Reporter hes obviously touched you . Yes. More so than probably i knew. Reporter tonight, an Islamic Center here in louisville, will have an Interfaith Service for the boxing legend. Organizers there tell me theyre expecting hundreds, if not more people to attend. Thank you, jar eeka. Here with a look back at muhammad alis life and legacy is scott pelly. I must be the greatest reporter never humble, always bold. Muhammad ali burst onto the boxing worlds stage with an unorthodox style and a sharp tongue that moved as fast as his dancing feet. Im gonna float like a butterfly and sting like a bee. His hand cant hit what his eyes cant see. Reporter he was born Cassius Marcellus clay jr in louisville, in 1942. He first captured the worlds attention as an 18yearold in 1960 with a gold medal victory at the olympics. He was just three months out of high school. As a teenager, he called boxing coaches to tell them that one day he would be their world champion. And in 1964, at 22 years old he defeated big sonny liston to become the world heavyweight champion. That might be all, ladies and gentlemen. Reporter the youngest boxer ever to hold the title. Muhammad ali. Reporter it was in that spotlight that cassius clay announced that he was changing his name and converting to islam. Because he said, the religion simply appealed to him. Cassius clay is the name no more, is that right . Yes, sir. Its muhammad ali, meansing worthy of all praises and most high. Reporter muhammad ali remained the world heavyweight champion until 1967, but then his career came to a halt, when ali refused induction into the army, claiming he was a Conscientious Objector to the vietnam war. He was stripped of both his boxing license and his heavyweight title and convicted of draft evasion. Im not allowed to fight in america. Im not allowed to leave america, and ive been completely persecuted before prosecuted. Reporter ali was forced out of the ring for three years, until the Supreme Court overturned his draft evasion conviction. But he had lost some of his best boxing years. At Madison Square garden in 1971, in what was billed as the fight of the century, alis comeback was stopped by longtime nemesis joe frazier. It was alis first professional defeat. And it would take him three years and several more bruising fights to come back. Ali quickly across the ring. Reporter in 1974, he regained his heavyweight title, his ropeadope strategy exhausted george foreman, and ali scored a stunning eighth round knockout in zaire. Then, in 1978, he lost the title to leon spinks, and won it back a few months later. Yall thought i was gone, didnt you . But you still have me to reckon with. Reporter but ali was no longer invincible and took plenty of punishment before finally calling it quits in 1981. This might be my last fight tonight. A great possibility, you probably saw the last of ali. Reporter he was 39 years old, with a pro record of 56 wins and five defeats. Just into his retirement at age 42, ali had to face perhaps the biggest fight of his life when he was diagnosed with parkinsons disease, the most graceful of boxers, slowly lost control of his body. It became hard to walk, and even harder to speak. So maybe when we get up there, we can sit you down in the chair and you can talk. That be okay . Probably. Probably . Reporter during a 60 minutes filming, ali tried to do an interview. You cant talk . Reporter but he walked because he told ed bradley later he didnt want to be pitied. The fighters instinct never left ali. And in 1991, he did the near impossible when he met Saddam Hussein and negotiated the release of people who were being used by iraq as human shields. He was later awarded the medal of freedom at a white house ceremony in 2005, the highest civilian award bestowed by the president and he couldnt resistant one more playful jab. His unwavering courage in the face of his toughest enemy transformed ali into another kind of champion, one who did not go down easily, who stands ever more as an icon of triumph.

The city, about 40 miles from the iraqi capital, baghdad, has been under isis control for more than two years. Charlie dagata was outside fallujah today and has this report from the front line.

Truman will be heading home soon but its keeping up the fight for now, as this is such a crucial time in the battle against isis. From 6,000 miles away, the battle against the Islamic State might seem to be taking a very long time. But for one decorated general, its a slow process that is being fought successfully on many fronts. Charlie rose spoke to retired general and former cia director david petraeus. I think we are starting to win, without question. I mean, were certainly making gains. And now, in fact, it actually allows us and really requires us, to focus on the real center of gravity in iraq, which is why this all went wrong in the first place, which is iraqi politics. It is possible possible that before this president leaves office, they could retake fallujah, mosul, and raqqah . I dont know if id bet on that. Two out of three wouldnt be bad, and thats not inconceivable. I just wouldnt rule out raqqah, i guess, because you could see some kind of, perhaps, collapse at some point, when theyre cut off from their turkish supply lines, where theyre encircled a bit more. So never rule that out, but certainly would want to see fallujahs going to go down in this president s watch. Can mosul be taken down as well and what kind of pressure can you bring on raqqah . But again, you just cant focus on this, you have to keep the pressure on the Islamic State elements in libya that became quite worrisome and troublesome. You cant let the Islamic State in afghanistan develop any critical mass. Keep an eye on yemen and all the rest. By and large, theres a pretty coherent effort that is now ongoing and it is starting to bear fruit. The cbs overnight news will be right back.

Eight years ago, doctors told colin obrady he might never walk again after a terrible accident. He just finished climbing the highest mountain on every continent and he walked to the north and south poles and did all that in record time. Lee cowan reports. Im going up there. Soon, soon. Yeah. Reporter battling your way to the tallest place on earth is an accomplishment for anyone. Im on the summit of mt. Everest no words can describe. Reporter but mt. Everest was only a 29,000foot pit stop for climber colin obrady, whose trip here to the top of the world stepping off the plane. Reporter actually started at the bottom of it. Almost five months ago. We made it, we made it, we made it reporter thats colin at the south pole. He trecked there some 69 frigid miles, all on foot. Weeks later he was doing the same thing at the north pole. Climbing over ice ridges and dodging polar bear tracks along the way. The north pole woo reporter its a fair question to ask why . The answer, colin was in search of an adventure, called the explorers grand flame. Tired legs, tired body. Reporter its a gruelling test of endurance, requiring not only reaching both poles, but also the summits of the tallest mountain on every continent. Thats seven in all. Woo reporter fewer than 50 people have ever finished the challenge. Only two have done it in under a year. But just nine days ago, high atop the mountain in alaska, colin obrady made history. Woo reporter he had finished all nine expeditions in just 139 days. At the age of 31, he had broken the world record. Has it sunk in yet . No, i dont think its fair to say its sunk in yet. Ive barely gotten one nights sleep yet, so i think it will take some time. Reporter we met up with colin soon as he was back down the mountain, still in a daze over what he had done. You were pretty sure you could accomplish all nine things . Physically i thought i was very capable, but there were a lot of things that had to go our way. Wont be too long, well be standing up there. Reporter sometimes mountains push back. Looking at all the memorials of people who have passed away on everest. Colin himself barely made it. High winds forced him to abandon his first attempt. But he managed to summon the energy for one last push to the top. Id be lying to say if i didnt have doubts throughout this project. There was many times when the weather or just the loneliness or the tiredness, the fatigue really just hit so hard that you wonder, can i go tomorrow . Weve climbed more than 10,000 feet today. Reporter but every tomorrow had its own challenge and every mountain, its own clock. Ive been going for about seven hours, 20 minutes. Reporter he raced up mt. Kilimanjaro in africa, in less than 12 hours, arriving at the summit in the pitch dark. Woo congratulations. Reporter how long does it take a normal person to get up kilimanjaro . Normally six or seven days. Reporter and you did it in . 12 hours. Reporter colins adventure started way back on christmas day. Happy day, a little bit of a sad day. Reporter thats a fellow mountain climber driving him to the airport. And shes also colins fiancee. Where did he propose . On the top of the third tallest mountain in ecuador. Reporter of course he did. Of course he did. He made me work for it. 4,800 meters, feeling pretty good. Reporter they dubbed their operation, beyond seventwo. Seven summits, two poles. Reporter colin always had a love of adventure, a thirst to experience everything, but while on a trip to thailand back in 2008, he made a mistake. He got in on a popular beach party trick, a game of jump rope, only the rope was dipped in kerosene and lit on fire. And it wrapped around my legs and had excess kerosene sprayed me to my neck. Reporter you burst on fire . Yes, dove into the ocean to put out the flames. Reporter but it wasnt in time . 25 of my body was severely burned. Reporter the pain he endured through his recovery, he says, taught him something about himself. Pushing his body to his limits gave him a sense of accomplishment like nothing else. So much so colin became a professional triathlete. But even that wasnt enough. Just got to a point where this is great, but i would like to do more. Its been taking a lot of effort. Reporter so he and jenna began touring Elementary Schools near their home in portland, oregon, telling kids about the fire and the power of setting goals, even seemingly impossible ones, like completing the explorers grand slam. They ate it up. We dont really know him, but we really want him to make it. If he makes it, he will say that anything is possible. Yeah, possible. Im pretty tired. Reporter just how hard was written on colins face when he finally finished. A commippingz of relief, exhaustion, and exhilaration. Hey. Reporter the first thing he did was call jenna. We made it. Reporter she boarded a plane and flew straight to the glacier to meet him. To celebrate not one record, but two. We did it. I cant believe it. Reporter turns out, colin has not only broken the grand slam record, but in the process, hes also broken the sevensummit speed record. I hope that people take away from this the power of the human spirit. When you believe in yourself and you dream big, that anything is possible. Why do we climb these mountains . Reporter the answer for some is, because they are there. So this is one of the reasons for sure. To see whats on the other side. Reporter for colin ,,,,, famed fight doctor freddie patch erchgo once said cassius clay was born in louisville. Muhammad ali was born in miami, the night he took the title from sonny liston. James brown looks back. As the world mourns the passing of muhammad ali, i cant help but think of all the athletes ive spoken with over the years who simply revere the man known as the greatest. Before ali became an international icon, he was first and foremost, a sportsman. A heavyweight boxer who possessed incomparable speed, agility and with a mouth to match. Im a bad man reporter he bragged about what he could do in the ring, but it was his willingness to speak truth to power that made him so influential to generations of athletes who followed him. By coincidence, ali died on the eve of the 49th anniversary of what has become known as the ali summit. On june 4th, 1967, ali was a 25yearold champion who had shocked the world by beating the likes of sonny liston and floyd patterson. But he also shocked america when he opted out of the draft for the vietnam war, because of his religious convictions as a muslim. Ali immediately was reviled for his stance. Anotheeat, jim brown, organized a meeting in cleveland, with ali and several prominent athletes. Among them, bill russell, and a 20yearold lou alsender, who later would change his name to kareem abduljabbar. Many of these athletes had served in the military and thought they could change alis mind. But after several hours of debate, the young champion actually changed their minds. Nfl hall of Famer Bobby Mitchell was there and said of ali, quote, he convinced us that he knew exactly what he was doing, that it was important to him. So the group held a press conference and came out in support of muhammad ali, and the picture is truly worth a thousand words. Sitting next to some severe the greatest athletes of all time is the man who would eventually be known as the greatest of them all. He would still be stripped of his title later that year and have to wait another three years to fight again, but that press conference began to turn the tide of Public Opinion for the man who would become a transformational figure in the world of sports. He convinced them back then and he convinced us all that to be great, means to be courageous. As he once said, quote, impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world theyve been given than to explore the power they have to change it.
